The Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute
The Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute (JSLI) offers a unique course of study for the preparation of liberal rabbis. In our rabbinical seminary program, we focus on the needs of interfaith families and liberal Jews. Our Spiritual Leaders are prepared to create, grow and meet the total needs of modern liberal Jewish communities. Our Program Our rabbinical seminary's curriculum is built on E-Courses and mentoring. Students take online courses and mentor with staff to learn practical and necessary rabbinic and cantorial skills. Why we are Different JSLI's focus is as a rabbinical school which trains clergy to minister to the needs of the intermarried and the unaffiliated- a demographic which comprises more than 50% of the world's Jewish population. Today's liberal Jewish world calls out for a new paradigm in the training of it's clergy. Our spiritual leaders learn to teach basic Talmud and Torah, lead prayer services, give inspirational sermons, provide pastoral care, officiate at weddings and funerals, chant Torah & Haftara, prepare children and adults for Bar/Bat Mitzvah, blow shofar, play a musical instrument, develop and manage websites and so much more. At JSLI, it is possible to graduate in as little as two years as advanced standing is extended in some subject areas for those students who can demonstrate proficient skills. Each matriculated student becomes ordained as "Rav u' Madrich Ru-chani," ("Rabbi & Spiritual Leader"). Our tuition is a fraction of the amount you would spend at a traditional seminary. And you may pay as you learn on a schedule which you set. Please see our list of courses. |
